Disney Cartoon Characters Summoned To Court

It seems as if Tweety Bird and Donald Duck will finally get to exercise their civic duty. They have been summoned, along with Mickey Mouse and Donald's girlfriend Daisy, to testify in a Disney counterfeiting trial in Italy.

"The court summons cites Titti, Paperino, Paperina, Topolino — the Italian names for the characters — as damaged parties in the criminal trial of a Chinese man accused of counterfeiting products of Disney and Warner Bros."
